MN 49:6.1–6.8 Pali
Pali Canon — MN 49
Evaṁ vutte, ahaṁ, bhikkhave, māraṁ pāpimantaṁ etadavocaṁ: ‘jānāmi kho tāhaṁ, pāpima; mā tvaṁ maññittho: “na maṁ jānātī”ti. Māro tvamasi, pāpima. Yo ceva, pāpima, brahmā, yā ca brahmaparisā, ye ca brahmapārisajjā, sabbeva tava hatthagatā sabbeva tava vasaṅgatā. Tuyhañhi, pāpima, evaṁ hoti: “esopi me assa hatthagato, esopi me assa vasaṅgato”ti. Ahaṁ kho pana, pāpima, neva tava hatthagato neva tava vasaṅgato’ti.
When he had spoken, I said to Māra, ‘I know you, Wicked One. Do not think, “He does not know me.” You are Māra the Wicked. And the Divinity, the Divinity’s assembly, and the retinue of Divinity have all fallen into your hands; they’re under your sway. And you think, “Maybe this one, too, has fallen into my hands; maybe he’s under my sway!” But I haven’t fallen into your hands; I’m not under your sway.’
